David’s Personal Reflections on what happened:

At one point, I recited an impromptu performance poem. This guy told me it was good, and that he was on the UT speech team, but he wouldn’t perform anything of his own. I felt like I made a complete jackass out of myself the whole time—and in one sense, it worked, because people laughed, got loosened up, and started talking. But it didn’t work completely, because while people would talk: they were loath to perform on their own. We did get some people to sing WITH us, but never by themselves. All in all, I would say it was a success.

David’s Bio:

David grew up in Lexington, Kentucky. He is 20 years old, and a second year student at UT in the Plan II program.
Turn on’s include : kazoos, skinny dipping, dreams about flying, gorilla suits, and writing poetry.

Things that piss me off: George W. Bush, pubic hairs on toilet seats, that surly guy who works at Metro and plays death-metal at 4 in the morning, and those Christians on the West Mall who tell me I am going to hell.

-- My lifelong goal is to be a wandering hitchhiker in Latin America somewhere. Maybe Guatemala

-- I tend to fall in love with redheads with country accents.

-- If you are going to read one nonfiction book this summer, read “Lipstick Traces” by Greil Marcus. Here’s a quote from Tom Waits: “I will tell you all my secrets but I will lie about my past.” That pretty much sums up my life. Damn, one paragraph. That’s depressing.
